How we lowered sudden spike in blood pressure: A personal story

Recently, my mother, who is over 80 years old, suddenly became very unwell. Her systolic blood pressure soared to 166, a significant jump from her usual 135. The situation was deeply worrying, especially given her age and health. Reaching out to the doctor was stressful, and every moment felt urgent. I turned to the internet for help, but the sheer volume of advice left me confused and unsure where to turn.

Then, I came across a straightforward solution shared by someone in my community: just two simple exercises-one isometric and one focused on breathing. Although I was skeptical at first, I decided to try them with my mom. To our surprise, her blood pressure dropped to 142 in about 20 minutes, and she felt noticeably better. This experience truly demonstrated the value of trusted, community-shared solutions.

The Two Exercises:

• Isometric Exercise: Take a small object, such as a tennis ball, and squeeze it in one hand for about 2 minutes, then release. Repeat with the other hand. Continue alternating for approximately 10 minutes.
• Breathing Exercise: Inhale for about 2 seconds, hold your breath for 2 seconds (if possible), and then exhale slowly for around 6 seconds. The key is to make your exhalation longer than your inhalation.
